There are many examples of that. Hungarian paprika made of peppers that are originally from the Americas. Same for Indian cuisine. Read The Columbian Exchange:

Read The Columbian Exchange: Biological and Cultural Consequences of 1492 by Alfred W. Crosby My understanding is that pizza maybe originally from Italy, but it was popularized in the US by Italian-Americans. When American tourists started traveling in Europe in large numbers, they wanted "authentic" pizza, so Italians obliged by serving them a reinvented pizza.

> but it was popularized in the US by Italian-Americans. Sweden and Southern Germany had pizzerias before WWII. Same for São Paulo (Brazil) and Buenos Aires (Argentina), both cities with a big Italian immigration on the 19th century. The town of Nice, in southern France, has pissaladiere as a local dish since the end of 19th century. And then there are the hundreds of different versions of flat-breads from Asia to North Africa.

  That may be true, but no one spends like American tourists :-) asking for local "authentic" experiences. Also, I love pissaladière and have made it many times.
